Worst Class In ESO?

Ohhgrizyyy

Me and a buddy got into an argument about the new Warden class and I personally don't think it will be that good and he thinks it will be extremely viable. Then we got into an argument about the current classes in the game and which are the worst and best. I personally think Nightblades as a whole are the worst currently between PvE/PvP and Stam/Mag. I made this post for y'all to give me your opinions! This vote is for what you think is the WORST class.

Stam DK

I vote Stam Dk. My main is a stam Dk. Its all I Play.

But the problems are there. No mobility, No escape mechanism, No Aoe Disruptions, Dots are trashy and purgable, And all around just not a very mobile type of character at all.

Don't get me wrong, Stam Dk's are strong with Proc set builds, but even that is a horrible crutch to have to use to make a character playable. Without proc sets, stam Dk's just wouldn't exist.

The passives for the skill trees are pretty weak if your a solo pvp'r. The Dk can appear really tanky and strong, BUT ONLY WHEN A ZERG IS BEHIND IT. Most of the passives are designed for group buffing. The damage is just really weak and they do not have an escape ability. They are Only a really good tanky fighter when you got a zerg behind you backing you up with heals and buffs.

I still believe that Stam DK needs a complete re work. Its not even about sustain issues, anyone can run a heavy attack high regen build and have good sustain, Its the damage issues and mobility that just make them really weak, and purgable low dps dots don't help. The burst damage without the proc sets is horrible. Dk is very weak and its my belief that Zos introduced proc sets specifically for Stamina Dk's to be viable damage dealers in pvp. When I look at my skill bar on my Stam Dk, Off the top of my head if I can recall correctly, THE ONLY CLASS SKILL ON MY BAR IS GDB ( just remembered sometimes I use Petrify too, but it gets rotated on and off the bar a lot). The rest is garbage. Unusable. Everything else comes from weapon trees. And honestly, In my opinion, That's just bad design.

We probably need to have more skills per bar, like at least 7 to make a decent character playable.

Stam Blade

Majority of my characters are Stamblade and I didn't know what the meant till recently. Personally I think the real issue lies with the lack of stamina/heavy armor synergy. I'm used to more complex build options( TSW, PoE ) but trying to stay away from FotM and cookie cutter is really difficult here.

Without heavy armor and a way to regain health, through ONLY stamina skills, I'm having a rough time with my main character who uses Bow/DW Werewolf. Playing my lowbie Stamplar is night and day comparison.

Stam Blade

Stam NB wins this one. Anyone who isn't passing around bull[snip] knows this is true. The superstar NBs people see around are the cheese build ones. And even then these NBs are doing more ganking and then running and disappearing than brawling and staying in a prolonged tussle with a tank or magicka sorc for example.

I also can't recommend stam NB for dueling. What will any stam NB do in a duel to these monster tanks and magicka sorcs?

And for PvE stam NB requires a lot more effort when you could as easily just play a templar or sorc.

Stam DK

i bet this vote will show how any sorc build class is op break
i vote stam dk because is my class but believe over all stam class suck

Stam Blade

Stamblade

I am currently leveling a Nightblade.

It is a pain in the behind till you get Refreshing Path/Mark Target and even then you are too squishy amd cant handle more than 2 mobs.

Yesterday while killing Ra Gada captain in Velyn Harbor I have to use all of my spells (dmg/heals etc) and even then I died.

In came a sorcerer (while i was rezzing out) the captain and his aides were downed in a matter of secs.

All I saw and heard was lightning, fire,thunder and a big robot stomping the Ra Ga da captain..all in a matter of secs.

Had to use all of my willpower from deleting my nightblade then

Stam Blade

notice there are no votes for sorcs?
i hope ZOS notices and buffs everybody else, except sorcs.
or nerf them if their target point of reference for balance is not gonna be sorcs.

I only play stamblade and enjoy it. Sad to see it considered the worst. My main issue is not having a good heal that isn't locked behind PvP or requires me to use a giant sword. But I still manage to enjoy playing mine.

Stam Sorc

Stam sorc, im feeling so weak... Back in the days I actually never dies, now once in a while 5 mag sorcs are killing me with 5x curse on me.

Buff stam sorc

Try a shield stacking mag sorc in pvp and you will go from zero to hero!

Yeah, I'm still going to vote Forum Necromancer as the worst class. They're the worst.

You didn't at least put a "Your Mom" option in there or something to make this fun? Come on Man!

craftycarper73

all of them barring the warden when morrowind drops.

Why do you have 8 options when there's only 4 classes at the moment. You've listed BUILDS.

Cause it can very....Stam nb could be crap in pve but good in PvP for example...So between both PvE and PvP what is the worst

Stam DK

I don't feel it's necessary to rate a class based on who is and isn't allowed to join elitist raid groups in end game PVE. For me it comes down to the fact that Stam DK DPS is mushy in small group PVE and solo.

The heavy attack meta seems like it was made for DK because of molten armaments, but it feels like fanning the air with heavy attack weaving is about as good as it gets for a Stam DK on the PTS. I've tried rearranging the build to get more resource sustain to pump out more skills per minute and try to make things interesting, but it's not any better than the simple heavy attack - DOT weaving. I could Google things, eat a meal or even have a conversation with people on the phone while DPSing a boss with yawn-inducing damage.

I'm kidding, but really, even if that damage would grow by a lot with more buffs and debuffs provided in a raid setting, it's still not my thing.

My stamblade has enough passive and active self buffs and burst damage to keep things moving fast in the situations I encounter, even on the PTS. I'm changing my Stam DK into a magic/stam hybrid heavy armor turtle, which is actually a bit more fun.

It is a second time I see thread like this... as if people will vote on different class or something...
Maybe somebody is hoping that mag sorc will win and receive a buff ? LoL

Both variants of Nightblade are at the bottom... but stamina is slightly worse than magicka.

no option for warden

Mag Sorc

definitely sorc, whole build revolves around 30% proc chance of frag otherwise you are too slow/waste too much time hard casting

"I'm happy with where all the classes stand"

The worst class is the class you have spent the least anont of time playing. Its diffrent for everyone.

I think there is a difference in "Which class is the worst?" and "Which class are you worst at?"

Runschei

Wouldn't say some classes a re bad. they're just harder to play.

Have to go with stamblade - PVE could not even kill a quest boss at level 22ish i ended up deleting her was to frustrating when i can kill the boss on pretty much every other class with just 1111... Good class for a masochist tho.
